10. Nico Hulkenberg, the first active F1 driver to win at Le Mans since 1991. Well done to him and teammates Nick Tandy and Earl Bamber for winning in the "other" Porsche. Quick and flawless.

9. The most epic driver group photo ever. The amount of talent in this photo rivals some of the best Le Mans years of the past. Some Le Mans vintages are better than others, this one: top 10 easy.

8. Sure, pole position for a 24 Hour race is pretty irrelevant. But the emotion and prestige is still there. Being the quickest at one of the fastest circuits in the world is something to be proud of. Beating the outright lap record by nearly 2 seconds is something to flaunt.

5. Night at Le Mans. Just looking at this make us feel the exhaustion again. The 24 Hours of Le Mans, for competitors/media/photographers/organisers is more than 24 hours. From waking up on Saturday morning to hitting the pillow on Sunday late night, it's more like 45 hours.

4. Excellent detail shot of fuel overflow. The grime on the engine cover, the names of the three drivers near the door, the make-shift vent cover (probably installed in the early morning hours). This is unmistakably Le Mans.
